Back to EpisodesTrump EPA Rolls Back Power Plant Pollution Limits
Description
Under the Trump administration, the EPA has reinstated the 2012 Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, aiming to save families $670 million and maintain coal facilities. This move, however, has been criticized by environmental advocates who warn of increased health risks. Meanwhile, industry leaders in North Dakotas coal regions welcome the stability, citing past investments in controls and no major health problems. The rollback is expected to save 74 coal plants from shutdowns, with significant drops in mercury and metal emissions.
